This paper presents some conceptual ideas to make notes that aim to assist in the studies of their unfolding in time and space in the face of counter-hegemonic issues that arise capable of contributing to think fair transition paths of food systems and the promotion of the Human Right to Adequate and Healthy Food. The goal is to reflect on theoretical elements that support public action, highlighting the dimensions of inequality, inequities, and ideals of justice that underlie thinking about the order of framings in transition processes, in various dimensions of systemic determinants.  The theoretical analysis uses a reading of food justice from a multiscalar and relational perspective, considering that the criteria of social justice and rights have been incorporated in the propositions of transformations in the current food systems. The results show that the concept of food justice, as it has been constructed, advances by considering the systemic interlacements that promote inequalities and inequities by incorporating issues beyond food in socio-space.
